Hahaha! No. The Canucks make NO SENSE to a coach like Julien who will want to pick his spot on a team that is poised to compete for a Stanley Cup. The Canucks are about as far away as a team can get from that goal, and Julien has ample time to weigh his options.
What a ridiculous idea.

Gulutzan is clearly not the answer here but I can't see Brad bailing on him this early without putting his own job on the line. "The process" is going to hurt us here.

The only thing "clear" about Gulutzen so far is that he is a structured coach who employs a fairly consistent system of puck possession. To add to that the Flames special teams have been lights out since after the first few weeks of the season. I will agree with you that Treliving will not change coaches after handing Gulutzen 2/3 of a single season, but I disagree heartily that this will be a mistake. This team is still a couple of years away, and I don't think that Gulutzen has amply demonstrated that he is "not the answer." I want to see more.
